Skagit Valley Joys -- A Cookbook Celebrates People, Place And Spirit

THE STORAGE PILE OF 1996 cookbooks is now up to about 5 feet high in the corner of the dining room, and in a couple of months we'll print the annual rundown of what's good, what's bad and what's merely recyclable.
In the meantime, I was musing about another set of cookbook evaluation guidelines: Those you want for yourself; those you would wish on nobody; and those you think you'd like to give to someone you care about. For that final consideration, I picked up Lavone Newell's "Skagit Valley Fare" the other day, and found myself involved with it.

Skagit Valley Fare: A Cookbook
Skagit Valley Fare: A Cookbook Celebrating Beauty and Bounty in the Pacific Northwest - Paperback –June 1, 1996
This was one of the top ten best-sellers in the area during the 1996 holidays. Skagit Valley Fare has full-color reproductions of paintings by local artists, and poetry by local writers. The recipes are all from excellent cooks, restaurants and bed and breakfasts, and the book has a lay-flat binding which allows it to remain open on the kitchen counter without propping.
